My apologies for sending the incomplete message.

I used 4.0.2 to debug the encryption and found that the problem is in
the *OC_Crypt::decrypt
 - *it strips all 0x00 characters at the 8KB block boundary.
Please check the encryption with the attached files. One has 32 of 0x00
inside and another one is the same but has 0x05 at the 7th position.

When I change *apps/files_encryption/lib/crypt.php*  line *#136*
return rtrim($data, "\0");
to
return $data;

the file is decrypted correctly except the fact that it's last block is
padded with 0x00. (Tested on *.exe ~ 7MB)
